So…that happened.
The Grammy Awards were held last night in Los Angeles, and as a dedicated pop culture junky there was no way I could miss it.
Because then what else would I tweet about? DUH.
A few of my favorite selections from last night:
Taylor is dressed like she’s gonna go turn some letters for Pat Sajak after the show.

Taylor swift is dressed like she’s having flashbacks to her former life as Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.

Yes, I like the T Swizzle jokes
If Gaga wins I want her to use her staff to pop Nicki Minaj’s dress on her way up

We found love in a toneless place

Shout out to Paul McCartney pretending he knows any of the words besides “like a rhinestone cowboy”.

So. Nicki stole from Gaga and Madonna who swaggerjacked Grace Jones so…full circle? #happyblackhistorymonth

the combination of Nicki, Chris Brown, and taylor swift’s ode to the confederacy have left me unable to read or write. Thanks CBS.

Last night also produced the trending topic #myinsensitivelynamedcountryband which gave me much joy and laughter. I simply CANNOT post any of those here, but feel free to peruse them yourselves. Pure. Comedy.
A few more random thoughts:
– Look, I eye-rolled Nicki Minaj as hard as everyone else last night, but lets all put the blame where it belongs: on Lady Gaga and the music buying public. Its not enough to be a marginally talented singer/rapper in cute outfits anymore, apparently. We are all living in the Haus that Gaga built and the only thing on the dinner table is EXTRA.
– I have no interest in Katy Perry in general. I find her generally annoying, especially with the whole “let me release a dozen remixes of my mediocre songs so I can beat MJ’s record”. Really, heffa. Could you not. That said, I really loved her Grammy dress. STUNNING.
– Does Jon Stamos know that he got kicked out of The Beach Boys?
– The Foo Fighters had my favorite performance of the night and even managed to throw a little #shade on the music industry while accepting their award. Whats not to love?
– I REFUSE
And lastly, as everyone knows, over the weekend we lost one of the greats: Whitney Houston. Like millions of others of a certain age, Whitney Houston looms large in my childhood memories. I sang into countless hairbrushes along to her songs. I have a inexplicable hatred for women named Susan. I used to listen to “I Will Always Love You” and try to time popping my eyes open before the final chorus like she did in the video. Whitney was a trailblazer. She will be sorely missed.
